TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Might take a look at the standard Adobe PDF "paper" size called "Screen."
It's 6.5" wide x 5.18" high. I use this size with 0.13" margins (in Word).
With a set of TOC bookmarks on the left, I think it looks fine.
I've spent several hours checking out various eBook compilers, etc. Most are
a real PITA.

Subject: Misc: Particularly attractive book designs?
I'm beginning to research possible designs for an e-book I'll be
publishing in the next month or two (assuming I can escape this
"work" thang that occupies so many waking hours <g>). My plan is to
produce the e-book in landscape (horizontal) format so it fits better
on the screen.
I've got a few ideas for the design, but am the first to admit I'm
not a graphic designer. So: Do you have any favorite examples of such
books -- laid out in ***landsape*** format -- that you can recommend
as inspiration? (Ideally, with sample pages available online so I can
see how other authors have tackled this particular design challenge.)
Send along your suggestions, and I'll compile the results for
copyediting-l and techwr-l in a few days. TIA!
